Robert's Prairie Dog Town - Badlands National Park, South Dakota

Located just five miles west of the Pinnacles entrance to Badlands N.P. along the unpaved "but easily drivable" Sage Creek Rim Road, Robert's Prairie Dog Town is a large colony of black-tailed prairie dogs. Few things are more guaranteed to make you smile than spending quarter of an hour watching busy prairie dogs go about their business, barking to one another as they pop in and out of their burrows.
